Have you dyno'd? That seemed a bit close for a LS1 vette with 3 mods.

Seems the shifting is a little slow.

What areyour afr's @ WOT? Are you still sequential? I think you shoould have spaced him a bit more. Good kill by anymeans. We have almost identical mods except for the intercooler set-up and choice of engine management.

there might have been some problems with the rx7 but it sounds like you guys arent giving the vette any credit. a properly running vette with those little mods isnt a slouch. im sure the car could run high 12's around 110 mph

he was running stock twins and a petite SMIC? with that he wouldve spaced the vette a bit more, maybe a bit more tuning and some more practice power shifting

nice vid, what gear and rpm were you at when starting? But like the others said, I agree with the shifting...each throw gave him way to much make up....But good run either way....I can't wait to finish my project so I can terrorize the locals. I'm tired of driving my wifes srt-4, lol.....

No brake boost? Didn't sound like it, would have given you a better jump at the start.

Nice runs btw

I swear by brake boosting. It's such a disadvantage for turbo cars if you don't brake boost on a roll race. Specially against V8 cars where their torque comes on instantly and they WILL keep that distance they pull on you while you spool.
